The Ministry of Education on Thursday announced that 15 schools will remain closed tomorrow Friday, November 29, 2013.
That followed Wednesday’s severe flood due to incessant heavy rainfall Tuesday night and Wednesday morning.
| Nursery | Primary | Secondary |
| Albouystown Nursery School | St. Sidwell’s Primary School | David Rose |
| Alexander Village Nursery School | St. Stephen’s Primary School | Tutorial (Annex) |
| South Road Nursery School | St. Agnes Primary School | Queenstown Secondary |
| St Ambrose Primary School | St. Barnabas Special | |
| The Bishops’ High | ||
| St. Rose’s High | ||
| St. Stanislaus College | ||
| Christ Church Secondary |
The decision by the Ministry, to have the schools listed above remain closed, was made after checks by Ministry officials revealed that as a result of the very slow pace in the recession of the flood waters, no sanitation work could have commenced in order to make the schools habitable.
All other schools in Georgetown have been cleared for reopening tomorrow by the Ministry of Education.
The Ministry sincerely regrets any inconvenience caused.
